What Ethernet/Wireless Router should I get?

[coldReactive]

I'm kind of liking Linksys, but how would I go about setting up the router using nothing but Ubuntu? Also, what router should I buy?

I'm looking for Wireless N (with an internal antenna) that's Backwards compatibile with b/g as well (so my PSP can hook up to it.)

It also has to be in-store, I can't get it on line.

Dont know any routers off hand but ubuntu has nothing to do with your router config or performance..

To edit config of your router go in firefox to 192.168.1.1

Got myself a WRT320N or whatever (Wireless-N Gigabit Router, with that silvery trim)

Works great, but I had to set it up in windows, otherwise Linux couldn't connect to the Internet. Glad I kept Windows on my netbook.

I have a Linksys WRT150N, and I have no problem configuring it from Ubuntu 9.04 and Firefox. It works great for me and I can connect as far as 20' away, with 2 walls in between

How did you configure it through the browser user interface?

WRT54G is always a safe bet, and widely available. They're good out of the box, even better if you put dd-wrt or tomato on them.

I have a Buffalo Technology AirStation™ G54 WHR-HP-G54, loaded with dd-wrt and it works great.


EDIT: Oh, you want N, not sure if they have any wrt54g's that do N yet.

I already have a WRT54G that is the old style, it works well, but I wanted to upgrade. Now my ethernet goes faster and so does the time it takes to initiate a download speedtest.

Start your Firefox browser, in the URL address type: 192.168.1.1 and hit enter. Then you'll see a screen to type your ID and Password, your manual will tell you what the defaults are, and later you can change them.'

After that you'll be presented with the Linksys configuration application.

I know all that, but what do I configure. By default, my router couldn't allow my desktop or wireless to connect to the Internet.
